Dad forgot
He came home
Plopped down in front of the T.V.
And drank
To forget his world
His reality.
Mom never said a word
But when I was going to bed
I heard
Cries
"How could you forget?"
yelling
"Its just a stupid day!"
I could feel the punches
I could sense the hurt
"put that away!"
The suitcase was running out the door
With my mom
For the last time
She had enough
Abuse
"No mom, wait for me!"
Not even a goodbye
Its been exactly
99 days
13 hours
22 minutes
Shes not coming back
Dad blames me
I can hear banging downstairs
The last of the good China
Crashes to the floor.
Silence
Hes asleep.
Escape
For tonight.
I see it
solid metallic blue
with a black stripe down the middle
I want it
I need it
This car would be fast enough to get me to the
other side of town
Ill steal it
grab the driver
throw him to the curb
"Get lost buddy!"
Im off
You cant catch me
Im Free
I must complete my mission
only one flashing star on the screen
meaning only one cop is after me
One cop will be easy to
shake
I own you copper!
Do you think you can actually catch up
To the king of
"Grand Theft Auto"?
NOOOOOOOOO
Power surge now?!
I didnt even
(Ding)
get to save
(Ding)
Dad
"Wheres Daddys little boy?"
His tone is soft
sincere
like when I was younger
when we used to play games together
before he lost his good job
before the alcohol
before mom left
I do not move
Perfectly still
my energy bar might get low
like last night
when I was Scorpion on
MORTAL COMBAT
Battling Guru.
I accidentally shifted my weight
the floor squeaked
like a fire alarm
sucker
It was a trick
his fist was not soft
but they felt sincere
I wanted to push pause
abort the game
reset
STOP IT!
my eyes opened wide
at my own response.
I had learned not to say anything
now it would be worse
I new better
How could I be so stupid?
the fists stopped
but it did get worse
video games
shattered into pieces
pieces
and fell to the floor
With a laugh
he went to his corner
I wish he hadnt done that
Bruises hit the flesh
Breaking my games
Hit my soul.
